charoff(HTML attribute)

Syntax

charoff="number"

Description

If
the align attribute is set to
"char", and the char attribute
has been set to a character—thus telling the browser that cell contents
should be aligned to a given character—the charoff
attribute is used to set a character offset. If a
charoff figure of "4" is chosen,
the browser should align the cell contents four characters to the right or
the specified character. If charoff were a negative
value, for example "-4", the alignment should be offset
four characters to the left of the specified character. Note that there
are a few uses of the word “should” in this description, which
should (there we go again) give you a hint about what to expect
in the Compatibility section for this attribute!

Example

In this example, the
charoff is set to align four characters to the
right of ":" (in columns 1, 2, 4) and two characters to
the left of "." (in column 3):
